HRC is the (in)famous Canadian Human Rights Commission. This time it went so far out on a limb, it looks like there is no limb to stand on anymore. But is it crazy or evil? I would stick to my favorite: never ascribe to malice that which could be explained by stupidity. Stupidity plus the unbeatable ability of a bureaucracy to grow from within and to expand its grasp to domains it was never intended to reach.
Anyhow, the key note is here:
It’s worth noting that not every pilot of Muslim origin ends up on the no-fly list: in fact, Bombardier trained over 32 pilots of Muslim or Middle Eastern origin since 9/11, all of whom had to go through the same procedure as Mr. Latif.But does HRC care? You tell me.

Well, look on the bright side. His pilot's license will be only good for use in Canada.
But does HRC care? You tell me.
Nope.
I guess so. Still, with this license he can cross the border(s), I assume. Or couldn't he?
They are just doing their job, you know how it goes...
Not if he's on our no-fly list. Course, for that matter, so am I. I just have to show i.d. each time to prove I live at a different address than the one they're mad at.
